A month before he had had an operation for a hernia and, at the time, wrote on Twitter: "The thought of surgery fills me with such joy (fear).

"I have 10cm incisional hernia. The piece of mesh they’re going to add to my abdominal wall is nearly the size of an a4."

He had discovered his hernia after doctors ruled out cancer during a check-up.

WHAT IS A HERNIA?

According to the NHS website, "a hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall".

It usually develops between your chest and hips and there are often limited or very few symptoms, but there may be swelling of a lump in your abdomen or groin.

There are a number of common types of hernia, including: femoral, umbilical and hiatus.

If you think that you have a hernia you should visit your GP. However if you are suffering from sudden/ severe pain, vomiting, constipation or the hernia is becoming firm, tender or can't be pushed back, you should visit A&E.
